Even in secular and civil contexts, marriage retains sacramental connotations. Yet what moral significance does it have? This book examines its morally salient features - promise, commitment, care, and contract - with surprising results. In Part One, "De-Moralizing Marriage," essays on promise and commitment argue that we cannot promise to love and so wedding vows are (mostly) failed promises, and that marriage may be a poor commitment strategy. The book contends with the most influential philosophical accounts of the moral value of marriage to argue that marriage has no inherent mor
"For better or worse. For richer or poorer. Till death us do part ... We've always done it, we're still doing it. Straight, queer, coupled or uncoupled, none of us live outside the cultural and psychological influence of marriage and all of us are written into its story. But why this highly contested and ancient practice has remained relevant to so many is by no means certain. Is it an act of love, a leap of faith, a holy bond, a contractual commitment, a bid for security, a framework for family, a hedge against being alone? Or could its traditional cover conceal something a bit more radical? Why do we do it at all? Drawing on philosophy, film, fiction, comedy, psychoanalysis, music and poetry, Devorah Baum considers the marriage plot. What are we really talking about when we talk about marriage? And what are we really doing when we say, 'I do'? Entertaining, illuminating, candid and consoling, On Marriage is a critique and a celebration of the many contradictions of matrimony - its sorrows as well as its joys - and an enquiry into its effects on us all"--Publisher's description

This article explores some limits to freedom imposed by family law & considers the merit of extending marriage rights to homosexual cohabitants -- a topic of heated debate throughout the world. Answering this question requires first examining the relationship between marriage & cohabitation. Marriage is a contract into which most heterosexual couples choose to enter, though the number of those who do not is growing. It is not a choice in most places for homosexual couples. However, there has been a recent trend to increase the obligations of unmarried intimate cohabitants, both hetero- & same-sex couples. In essence this trend has implications for personal autonomy. The contrasting legal positions of cohabitants & spouses are examined. It is concluded that marriage is useful in cohabitation settings where there is asymmetry in life profiles. It allows spouses or partners to feel comfortable with long-term investments of time & effort, especially when there are children involved. This is true for both opposite- & same-sex couples. Therefore it is suggested that a new form of obligated cohabitation, called the "marriage lite," might be an acceptable alternative for those who do not wish to marry but do wish for a certain degree of legal obligation & commitment.
